Infra Red Radiation The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire, a radiator or a warm sidewalk is infrared. Shorter, near infrared waves are not hot at all - in fact you cannot even feel them. These shorter wavelengths are the ones used by your TV's remote control. To make infrared pictures like the one above, we can use special cameras. The orange areas are the warmest and the white-blue areas are the Hottest.

Polarization The electric and magnetic fields in light oscillate in ALL DIRECTIONS. A Polaroid filter allows the ELECTRIC field through in ONE PLANE only – i.e. the light has been PLANE POLARISED. If a second Polaroid filter is placed at 90o to the first NO LIGHT WILL PASS THROUGH!

Penetrating ability Penetrating ability depends on frequency which also determines the ENERGY of the radiation. Lower energy vibrations UV, visible & IR are absorbed by many molecules (causing molecules to vibrate) and so do not travel far in most mediums. Very low frequencies Radio are not absorbed well and so travel far through low density substances like air.
